Abstract
Previous research has shown that the chaos synchronization of multi-delay feedback systems with multi-delay driving signal has a high potential for application in secure communication due to its complexity in dynamics and in the driving signal. In this paper, a new encoding model for chaos-based secure communication is proposed by using the chaos synchronization of multi-delay feedback systems with multi-delay driving signal. Further, a new scheme of shift keying technique named the synchronization-manifold shift keying is devised and used in the secure communication system. Simulation results validate the new proposed encoding model.
